Poppies for Poppy
Poppies are the colour red
From The Great War it is said
It became known as World War One
When the second war came along
Poppies droop like they are sad
About the countries that were mad
lots of people died from wars
mostly for a crazy cause
My Poppy is my daddy’s dad
And around this time he too, gets sad
We march the streets 11th November
and for all the fallen, we remember.
